Plymouth School Board Approves Purchase of Football Field Turf

The Plymouth Community School Board approved a resolution to move forward with the purchase of an artificial turf surface for the high school football field.

The school will enter into a lease with PNC Bank to fund the project. The cost of the project including the product, installation, 10 year warranty, and maintenance agreement totals $797,600. The payments will come out of the Capital Projects Fund for the next five years.

The Motz Group will be installing the artificial turf after Memorial Day with a target substantial completion date of July 20. The company will maintain the turf annually which includes sanitizing and cleaning the surface as well as a safety inspection.

The surface is guaranteed for eight years, but it can last as long as 12 years. The product would be comparable to the field installed at Warsaw High School.
